Choupo-Moting makes surprise appearance at Bayern Munich headquarters with Neuer and Musiala

Cameroonian Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the former Bayern Munich forward, has made a return to the German club's headquarters on Säbener Straße, after posting a picture on his Instagram account from the physiotherapy room, featuring goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and star Jamal Musiala, who are both continuing their rehabilitation programs to recover from injury.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, aged 37, appeared alongside a duo from Bayern Munich during his visit to the club, which he represented between 2020 and 2024, scoring 38 goals in 122 official matches before leaving.

The appearance of the Cameroonian striker at the club's headquarters has raised questions about the reasons for his visit, especially since his contract with New York Red Bulls, a competitor in Major League Soccer, ends at the end of this year.

However, Choupo-Moting's return to Bayern Munich during the upcoming winter transfer window is not on the cards, as the German newspaper Bild has confirmed that his presence at the club's headquarters does not carry any exceptional significance, given that he is accustomed to visiting the team from time to time.

The player was spotted in October 2024 during special training sessions with his son Liam at the club's grounds under the floodlights. He also used to visit the post office within Bayern's headquarters while he was in Germany.

Bayern Munich is keen to welcome its former players who made significant contributions to the team, providing them with access to some of the club's facilities and offering special arrangements at times.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has previously had the opportunity to undergo individual training sessions at the club's premises, in addition to being allowed to collect his parcels, which explains his repeated appearances at the Bavarian team's facilities.
